“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7
After a three year battle with advanced lung cancer, Lucia Jean-Baptiste went to her eternal rest on Wednesday, April 8, 2020. She was 70 years old. Lucia is predeceased by her eldest son Gary, and survived by Gary’s wife Naomi, their children Isaiah, Genese, Isaac, Abigail, and Joshua, her son Samuel, his wife Paulene, their children Selena, Faith, and Hope, her son Daniel, his wife Theresa, their children Grace, Victoria, and Juliana, her brothers Raynold and Raoul, and many nieces and nephews. Lucia immigrated to the USA in the early 1980’s from Haiti. Through the forty years since her arrival, Lucia dedicated her time, energy and love to serving God and providing for her family, both in the USA and abroad. Lucia’s life has been an example of perseverance, tenacity, generosity and good will. The footsteps of her children and grandchildren are bound to Lucia’s sacrificial love and prayers; they are the fruits of her labors. Although Lucia’s time on earth has come to an end, her life will be forever memorialized through her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and beyond.
